Recovery Cafe services available by appointment.

The services of the Recovery Café are available on a limited basis. To access the support services, please make an appointment by calling 574-537-2777. Please leave a message, if you receive the voice mail.

The café is located at First United Methodist Church in downtown South Bend and is a joint outreach of Oaklawn, The Upper Room Recovery Community and the St. Joseph County Health Improvement Alliance. Recovery coaches are available to meet with anyone who wants to learn more about recovery and resources available in the community. Visitors may also get help to enroll in health coverage, use the computers to apply for jobs or other benefits, and more.

For me, I really needed time away from my old environment. I needed a place where people are in recovery and are serious about their recovery, a place where I could fit in and give my newly-found recovery a solid foundation.

I came here because of word of mouth about Upper Room. I’ve known about God most of my life, but I did not KNOW God.

I've learned a lot about myself through this process. My character has changed. It's not easy, but with help, I know I can do it. It is God's will, not mine.

The disease is arrested, not destroyed. Each day you have to decide whether you’re going to live or die – because it will kill you.

When you’re in the midst of addiction, you’re also in the midst of loneliness and isolation. It’s hard to shake off. Your defense mechanisms are like a coat that you put on.
